Kashi-Tribe Reaver

I think this is my favourite member of the Kashi tribe and my second favourite non-Legendary Snake Warrior. To start, it has great art (that's always a plus). Then, it is a 3/2 for 4 with regenerate on it, so it has decent power and survivability. Finally, it has the Kamigawa Snake Frosting Effect (KSFE for short), which makes it even better. It's a fairly decent lockdown creature that can swing with little regard to an opponent's field. However, you do need the mana open to regenerate it and the KSFE is defeated by First Strike all day long.

NOTE: I'm well aware of the fact that the first creature with the KSFE was Mercurial Kite and not a Snake from Kamigawa, however "MKFE" sounds like an extra charge from McDonald's and therefore sucks (it's "kiss-fee" versus "mc-fee").
